Washington. Jan. 2.—At the
close of an historic first day of
government guaranteed bank de
posits, Walter J. Cummings,
chairman of the Federal Deposit
Insurance corporation, said with
satisfaction that only one federal
reserve member bank had re
fused to become a part of the
system.
All the others and more than
7,000 state non-member banks
•were under the protection of the
insurance plan, which until July
1 guarantees all accounts of $1,-
500 or less and which thereafter
will cover deposits of an even
larger amount.
The author of the legislation
providing for jthe temporary In

Michigan—today heaped praise
upon the deposit coipbration' and
the Reconstruction corporation
for a "superb piece of work" In
